Abstract
AbstractThe changes in polyphenols of sapota fruit during maturation have been determined by chemical analysis, paper chromatography and taste evaluation. Simple polyphenols are shown to decrease while polymeric leucoanthocyanidins increase with maturation. The reduction in astringency as the fruit develops has been found to be due to polymeric changes, the influence of other constituents such as sugar, and ‘dilution’ of polyphenols by increase in fruit size.
